Preparing for the Baby & Finding another Orrin Lee

So this weekend we decided that it was time to get out all the new born baby stuff and set it up. It was a lot more work then I thought. It really wore me out my feet swelled up like elephant feet. After we set up everything that we had, we took a trip to Babies R Us and got a new car seat (Wesley's old one broke) and then also stopped by Target to get some other little things. While we were checking out Orrin noticed that the checkers name was also Oren. Can you believe that is the first time in Orrin's whole life that he has ever MET someone with the same name. Which is not the case for me there are tons of people with the name Christi (Kristi,Kristy,Christie,I can go on forever:) After talking with him we found out that his middle name was also Lee. How weird is that! So there is more than one Orrin Lee out there in the world and we had to go to Oregon to find him.

Halloween Night

On Halloween Night we meet up with some friends and had dinner (yummy chili and broom stick bread sticks that were so cute) and then went trick or treating. We were a little worried that is was going to rain on us because it had been raining all day but the weather was perfect. The kids had so much fun running up to each door and ringing and banging on the door until someone came. It was so cute watching how excited they got. Each time we went to the door I tried to remind Wes to just take one and then say thank you but any time he was able to pick the candy out he would grab a hand full and if he has handed the candy he would just wait at the door until the gave him another one. After a while I just gave up. He got so much candy!! It was a really nice night.

Carving Pumpkins

Orrin had a really busy week at school the week before Halloween but we were able to find time the day before to carve pumpkins together. Wes did much better than last year and got his hands dirty digging out the pumpkin guts. We let Wes pick out the face and Orrin did a great job making just what Wes wanted. I think both Wes and Orrin's favorite part of the night is when we lit them up. Wes had to turn off all the lights in the house and we had them off for about a 1/2hour just looking at the pumpkins.
